Peter
and Mickey spend the hour in conversation with author/educator Henry
Giroux. Giroux explains the concept of 'critical pedagogy,' and the
pivotal role that education plays for the whole of society. He warns of
the increasing domination of the world by the ultra-rich, and a new form
of anti-intellectualism fostered by a failing corporate media. Among
the measures the left must take to resist these forces, he names the
formation of a third political party, and more academics taking on the
duties of public intellectuals, rather than confining themselves to the
campus.

In the first half of
the program, veteran investigative reporter Jane Akre explains the
serious medical problems caused by mesh implants, and why
corporate-media coverage of these issues has been scant. Then Ken
Burroughs discusses the Gandhi-King Season of Nonviolence, and
explains the philosophical foundations of nonviolence doctrine.

Jane
Akre is the co-founder of the Mesh Medical Device News Desk web site,
and a former television reporter. Ken Burroughs teaches Holistic Health
at San Francisco State University, and is an organizer of the
Gandhi-King events on the SFSU campus

And did some health officials allow the dubious reputation to continue, to keep research dollars flowing? Mickey Huff interviews Independent journalist Peter Byrne on the conclusions of his years-long investigation, and its implications about the workings of the health-care system.
